  • Patent number: 8493844
    Abstract: A method for reconfiguring a communication network is provided. A first network uses a first network protocol and a second network uses a second network protocol, the two networks being connected by two data links. A first data link is initialized as activated and a second data link is initialized as deactivated. A failure of the first data link is detected by a first bridge of the second network, the first bridge being connected to the first data link. A first data packet is generated by the first bridge and is transmitted to a second bridge of the second network, the second bridge being connected to the second data link. The first data packet is received and processed by the second bridge. The first data packet contains information which initiates a partial implementation of the first network protocol on a port of the second bridge and an activation of the second data link.

  • Patent number: 8284658
    Abstract: A method of reconfiguring a communications network is provided. A first network using a first network protocol and a second network using a second network protocol are connected by a master data link initialized as activated and two slave data links initialized as inactivated. A failure of the master data link or a slave data link is detected by a master bridge of the second network, the master bridge being connected to the master data link. A first data packet is generated by the master bridge and is transmitted to a slave bridge of the second network, the slave bridge being connected to a slave data link. The slave bridge is selected by the master bridge according to a selection rule. The first data packet contains information which initiates a partial execution of the first network protocol on a port of the slave bridge and an activation of the slave data link by the first network protocol.

  • Publication number: 20070211826
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting data, whereby all necessary information is transmitted on the basis of a global scaling modulation and demodulation by random processes, by carrying out a modulation, coupling or decoupling and demodulation of resonating frequency-coupled noise processes.
